Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Osteoporosis

Medicinal Benefits

Gemidro Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'bisphosphonates' used to prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis. It is indicated in adults for the prevention of skeletal events such as pathological fractures and bone complications requiring surgery or radiotherapy in patients with bone metastases or breast cancer. Gemidro Tablet may also be used to lower hypercalcemia (higher levels of calcium in the blood). Gemidro Tablet contains 'Ibandronic acid', which suppresses the activity of osteoclasts and makes the bone stronger. It lowers the risk of getting a fracture and reduces pain in the bones. Gemidro Tablet may reverse bone loss by increasing bone mass and stopping more bone loss.
